Susan B Anthony Roast

Here is a nice beef roast to fix on these still cold days. It is stuffed with onions, cheese and a dip of your choosing. We honor LGBT hero Susan B. Anthony with this recipe. Read a quick bio about her after the recipe.

Learning to tie up a roast is simple if not messy. So go for it, You can clean up afterword!

Ingredients

• 2 lbs beef roast for London broil ~~ butterflied.
• 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  Wet Rub

• 3 cloves garlic
• 2 teaspoons each: salt, pepper, and parsley leaves
• 1 Tablespoon olive oil

Stuffing:

½ Red onion chopped

¼ cup grated provolone cheese

½ cup of chip dip, use your favorite

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 215 degrees F. Line a roasting pan with foil and spray along with a roasting rack. 

In a small bowl, combine the garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, and olive oil for the wet rub. Set aside.

Chop the red onion and grate the cheese.

Lay out some wax paper on the counter.

With a long sharp knife, butterfly the roast: 

Make a cut into one side and cut nearly all the way through but not quite! It will now be bigger but much thinner. Spread this out. Give it a couple of taps with a tenderizing hammer just to help flatten it out.

Using a spatula, “butter” the roast with the chip dip not quite to the sides. Sprinkle the red onion on this. Now carefully roll the meat up in a big “bed roll”.

If you can't get it to roll, at least fold it over well.

Cut out pieces of butchers twine long enough to completely go around this roll with some left over to tie. Cut enough so you can have them about 2 inches apart. You can always trim it latter.

Lay out the pieces of string about 2 inches apart:

Place the roast on these and start tying them up to hold the roast closed.

Spread the rub on top and sides of the roast. Place the roast on the sprayed rack in the baking pan. 

Cook for approximately 1 to 1 and a ½ hours, or until the internal temperature of the roast reads 125 degrees F for a medium roast.

When cooking beef tenderloin, it’s important to cook to temperature and not to time.

• Rare: 125 degrees F
• Medium Rare: 135 degrees F.
• Medium: 145 degrees F
• Medium Well: 155 degrees F
• Well Done: 160 degrees F Not recommended!
  

While the tenderloin is slow roasting, prepare the white rice and set aside.

Once your tenderloin has reached your desired temperature from the first step, remove the roast to a cutting board and allow to rest. Change the oven to broil. Let warm. Then sear the roast to form a nice exterior crust. This should only take 1-2 minutes. This final step will bring your tenderloin up to your desired doneness, 135 degrees F for medium rare, 145 for medium.

Transfer to a cutting board, rest for an additional 5 minutes,

(use time to fix microwave vegetables) then slice into 3/4 inch thick medallions. 

Serve with rice and a green vegetable.

==============================

Susan B. Anthony

Susan B. Anthony (1820 – 1906) was an American social reformer and women's rights activist who played a pivotal role in the women's suffrage movement.

Anthony's father was an abolitionist and a temperance advocate. He encouraged them the children, girls as well as boys, to be self-supporting, teaching them business principles and giving them responsibilities at an early age. Her family shared a passion for social reform. Her brother Merritt moved to Kansas and fought with John Brown against pro-slavery forces during the Bleeding Kansas crisis.

In 1845, the family moved to a farm on the outskirts of Rochester, New York, The farmstead soon became the gathering place for local activists, including Frederick Douglass, who became Anthony's lifelong friend.

Anthony took over the operation of the family farm in Rochester so her father could devote more time to his insurance business. She worked at this for awhile, but found herself increasingly drawn to reform activity. With her parents' support, she was soon fully engaged in reform work. For the rest of her life, she lived almost entirely on fees she earned as a speaker.

Anthony embarked on her career of social reform with energy and determination.

She had collected anti-slavery petitions at the age of 17. Nearly 20 years latter, she became the New York state agent for the American Anti-Slavery Society.

In 1851, she met Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who became her lifelong friend and co-worker in social reform activities, primarily in the field of women's rights. In 1852, they founded the New York Women's State Temperance Society after Anthony was prevented from speaking at a conference because she was female.

In 1863, they founded the Women's Loyal National League, which conducted the largest petition drive in United States history up to that time, collecting nearly 400,000 signatures in support of the abolition of slavery.

In 1866, they initiated the American Equal Rights Association, which campaigned for equal rights for both women and African Americans.

In 1876, Anthony and Stanton began working with Matilda Joslyn Gage on what eventually grew into the six-volume History of Woman Suffrage. The interests of Anthony and Stanton diverged somewhat in later years, but the two remained close.

In 1872, Anthony was arrested for voting in her hometown of Rochester, New York, and convicted in a widely publicized trial. Although she refused to pay the fine, the authorities declined to take further action.

In 1878, Anthony and Stanton arranged for Congress to be presented with an amendment giving women the right to vote. It later became known as the Susan B. Anthony Amendment. It was ratified as the Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution 42 years latter in 1920.

When she first began campaigning for women's rights, Anthony was harshly ridiculed and accused of trying to destroy the institution of marriage. Public perception of her changed radically during her lifetime. Her 80th birthday was celebrated in the White House at the invitation of President William McKinley. She became the first female citizen to be depicted on U.S. coinage when her portrait appeared on the 1979 dollar coin.

Susan B. Anthony was a lesbian hero but they don’t teach you that in history class.

Susan B. Anthony was born in a time and country where few women or people of color were allowed to speak publicly. Both straight and gay women were often pressured into marriage when it was against their wishes. Women who did manage to remain single – or who formed partnerships with other women – were typically pitied or scorned. The exception was a few that were refereed to as “Boston Marriages”. Women often could often not earn an income nor own property, except as widows.

Anthony never married or had a serious relationship with a man. She continued to make pronouncements that coyly hinted at her lesbian orientation. In an 1896 interview, she told the reporter, “I was very well as I was…I’m sure no man could have made me any happier than I have been.”

When pressed by journalists, throughout her long life in the media spotlight, she created the image of just not being able to find the right man. But the real reason she remained “single” was that her amorous desires and emotional needs were only fulfilled by women.

There is an another striking comment Susan B. Anthony made later in life when discussing her lesbian niece, Lucy Anthony. Lucy’s life-partner was the Rev. Anna Howard Shaw, who eventually took over the presidency of the suffrage movement and expanded public support for it.

Susan wrote, ”I wanted what I feared I shouldn’t find, that is a young woman who would be to me–every way–what she [Lucy] is to the Rev. Anna Shaw.”

Anthony drifted in and out of consciousness as the end drew near. Shaw tried her best to comfort the dying activist with a solemn promise to do everything in her power to get the vote. The scene was an emotional “last-rites” passing of the suffrage leadership torch, from one lesbian to another.

Anna Shaw kept her promise.

Anthony did develop a passionate queer relationship, however, in her last years with Emily Gross, a married woman who lived in Chicago. They visited each other and traveled together. Anthony referred to Gross as her “lover.”

Why have most historians straightwashed Anthony? Why has popular culture not fully acknowledged the de facto queer-straight alliance of women who worked in the suffrage movement?

Straight supremacy, especially the erasure of queer human beings in pre-World War II historical commentary, is still prevalent.

It’s troubling that our cultural institutions don’t take the initiative to educate their staff to present queer history willingly and to respond without bigotry to questions about it. The “straight-supremacist flinch” is a homophobic kneejerk reaction that needs to be discarded.

Why do some modern academics continue to render lesbians invisible and refuse to use the word to describe women of earlier eras, not realizing how absurd these ivory-tower practices are?

If lesbians and gays are defined as predominantly romantically attracted to their own sex, then they’ve existed in various cultural settings throughout history and Anthony was obviously a lesbian.

With the still alarming rate of young LGBT suicides perhaps a truer history that included the truth about the many magnificent contributions of queer folks like Anthony, Dickinson and Shaw, might make a difference! If I had known that LGBTQ history is an integral part of global history – my childhood would have been much different.

If we continue to erase Anthony’s queerness and only vaguely say things like “she never married a man,” then what we’ll continue the same old dishonest straight-supremacist crap. History – what people did and how they’re remembered – is power. And LGBTQ people have had the power of history taken from them for far too long.

Celebrate Susan B. Anthony. She wanted queer and straight women to have the unfettered liberty to develop their own genuine ways of being and to make their own choices.

Her big-hearted dreams of a more inclusive world and a world free of voter suppression of any kind still beckon to us today.
